THE MARSHAL'S THINKING.

" 1 thought. Sire," said one of Napoleon's Marshals to him during a private interview at which the Emperor was giving the military man certain important instructions, "I thought, Sire—."

Quick a» a wink the small Coreican went into one of his fits of cold rage and flew afc the Marshal like a jungle tiger at an elephant.

'• You thought ! you ! " he shrieked in a voice raucous ac the cry of a peacock and full of malignant devilry. . " What have you to do with thinking 1 Obey your orders, Sir, and leave the thinkicg to me. Go, now, before I strike you with my ridiug-whip ; go, go 1"

Yet in the Tenth Hussars there was a better thiuker than Napjleon for on the lattcr's return from Elba the Hussar (once a Parieion cobbler) predicted Waterloo.

Shoemakers and tailors are commonly intellectual men, and most of themfdyspeptics. Too much cogitation and too little exercise does it. - We then removed here to Chrietchurch, where 1 began as a tailor and cutter.

Mr F. P. Le Breton, of 128, King Street, Sydenham, Christchurch, New Zealand, is a tailor, and, judging from a clear headed letter of his, dated December 15.h, 1899, he is a good deal of a thiuker. Away back in his younger dajs he lived at Seafield, Ashburton, where his father had a Urge farm and employed a number of men. PTheu aoy of these man becatna iIJ, as often happened, Li Broion'a mother and ho used to cure them with Mother Seigel's tyrup. They had heard of it through a pamphlet received from London.

" The effect of the medicine surprised as all. Within three months I was quite well, my kidneys acting perfectly and tho pain completely gone.

"It will show how deep the cure wenb down, and how real and genuine it was, when I mention that I felt not even a suspicion of my former complaint for eleven years.
